Your logic is immaterial to the charge.

If his defense is, "I declassified it and it's declassified," there has to be evidence he actually did and believed he did before his term ended.  Yet we have audio where he says, as a private citizen, "that document there is still classified." So he didn't declassify, and he never claimed he declassified until he realized he was in legal trouble over it.
